This etch pattern can be found in Wayne Techet's book on page 174A on a Holler marked bayonet.

Holler prduced etches for other makers, includig Alcoso. So, I see nothing wrogn with this etch on an ACS marked blade.

Thanks a lot John! But what do you think about the hilt? It's non-magnetic with earlier type of grip plates and rivets. Is this OK?

From the pictures, the hilt doesn't look like it has been messed with to my old eyes.

I would say ok.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions and sorry, for replying so late, 'cause I'm not often visiting this great site.

I have the same neutral etch on a Alcoso, and as John said its fine on that maker.
